What’s at Risk Without the Right Plan
What looks like a ‘good enough’ plan can unravel quickly, leading to problems like:
Siblings torn apart by inheritance disputes.
Probate delays that drain time, money, and energy.
Loss of government benefits for a child with special needs.
Confusion when dementia or illness leaves no clear decision-maker.
Second marriages or blended families unintentionally disinherit loved ones.
Adult children left unprepared to manage finances or care decisions.
It doesn’t have to end this way. With the right plan, and the right guide, you can protect your family, preserve relationships, and find peace of mind.
Meet Klea Harris
I know how fragile life can be. As an adoptive mom, a special needs parent, and the daughter of a father with dementia, I’ve walked through the very challenges many families face. These experiences shaped the way I practice law, making sure estate planning isn’t just about documents, but about protecting relationships and giving families peace of mind.
At Angel Advocates, my goal is simple: to be the last estate planning attorney you’ll ever need. That means repairing hidden gaps, guiding open family conversations, and providing ongoing support, so your plan actually works when life changes.
How We Work
Discovery & Review
Whether you already have a plan or are creating your first, we begin by getting a clear picture of your situation. This step helps uncover hidden gaps and brings your goals into focus.
Family Talks
We create a safe space for honest discussions so your wishes are clear, expectations are set, and potential conflicts are addressed before they cause harm.
Design & Draft
Your plan is carefully designed around your life. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and special needs provisions are drafted to reflect your unique family and values.
Funding & Finalization
We make sure your assets are titled correctly and your documents are fully prepared, so everything works when your family needs it most.
Ongoing Guidance
Life changes, and your plan should too. Through our membership program, we provide ongoing support and guide your family through incapacity, transitions, and beyond.
Our Services
Wills
A will is more than paperwork, it’s a way to give your loved ones clarity and comfort, knowing exactly how to carry out your wishes.
Trusts
Trusts bring peace of mind by keeping your family out of probate, protecting your assets, and preventing painful disputes.
Power Of Attorney
Life can change in an instant. A power of attorney ensures someone you trust can step in to make financial or medical decisions if you can’t.
Guardianships
If you can’t be there, who will care for your children or vulnerable loved ones? Guardianship planning gives you the power to choose, not the courts.
Conservatorships
When a loved one can’t manage their finances, conservatorships provide stability, protection, and reassurance for the entire family.
Asset Protection
You’ve worked hard for what you have. We create strategies to shield your assets from creditors, lawsuits, and costly mistakes.
Estate Tax Planning
Thoughtful planning helps preserve more of your estate for the people and causes you love, instead of letting it be lost to unnecessary taxes.
Special Needs Planning
Families with special needs children face unique challenges. We design plans that protect government benefits and secure lifelong care.
Elder Law
Aging comes with difficult decisions. We help with long-term care, Medicaid planning, and legal tools that protect your dignity and security.
Trust Administration
Losing someone is hard enough. We guide your family through trust administration with clarity, compassion, and steady support.
Charitable Planning
If giving back is part of your legacy, we’ll help you create strategies that make a lasting impact for the causes you care about.
Probate
When probate is unavoidable, we walk beside your family every step of the way, reducing stress, delays, and conflict.
Why Families Choose Klea
Estate planning touches the most personal parts of life: your family, your health, your legacy. That’s why families don’t just need a lawyer; they need someone who understands what’s at stake.
I’ve been in your shoes. As an adoptive mom, a special needs parent, and the daughter of a father with dementia, I know how quickly life can change and how painful it is when families aren’t prepared. These experiences shape the way I practice law: with compassion, candor, and a commitment to protecting not just assets, but relationships.
Clients often tell me planning with me feels different, less transactional, more human. My goal is simple: to be the last estate planning attorney your family will ever need, guiding you with honesty and care for every season of life.
